I spent $150 on a remote thermometer and it saved my brisket.
Always thought I could just watch the fire, but the temp dropped overnight and the alarm woke me up. What's your go-to tool for overnight cooks?

Honestly can't imagine spending that much on a thermometer. I just use a cheap oven probe with a long wire and set the high/low alarms on my phone. Waking up to check the fire is part of the ritual for me, feels like I earned the good bark.

My first brisket I used a candy thermometer duct taped to the grate. It read 200 degrees the whole time, even when the fire went out. I've earned my share of bad bark.
